Should a “throuple” be an accepted and legal relationship?

[RobT312]

Why are only couples legal relationships? Should committed relationships involving three people who share an emotional and often sexual connection on equal footing, be recognized as well?

[NathanDavis]

I don't think so, no... and if your commitment and connection are so real, then you don't need a paper

from the legal standpoint, you can still arrange legal agreements... from the religious point, the religious groups that accept these kind of deals are usually also into incest and other weird stuff so no need to encourage more of that

if you start with three... then the "four groups" will want theirs to, then the fives and so on...

it would be messy, which is not the goal

[RobT312]

Good point, where would it end re: # of people. Yeah that could get messy! I was thinking about it in the opposite way, trying to make things easier for a relationship of 3

Just because I'm finding it difficult with a couple relationship, life is all about choices, and if a throuple works, then why not make it a legal marriage.

But I can see problems with a throuple when things start to go wrong, and relationships break up, with the court battles that would follow.

[RobT312]

Good point, yeah maybe too much

[Sunrising]

Thank you for the MHO.

Yes. And quadruples, etc. It's the only morally defensible position. In practice it would be a nightmare: tax code, sponsored migration, health insurance, whatever. But practical hurdles can be dealt with over time. Legal polyamory should be a right.

... The bit where I sit back and watch the abuse role in. Go your hardest. That's my opinion and it's good enough for me.

*roll

[RobT312]

Yeah yeah i know. Very complicated. Buf i would love to see something like this happen. Why only 2?

[Nikki1989]

That sounds like a legal nightmare and also very pointless. You can have a three-way relationship without bringing the law into it. We have been in one since 2019.

[RobT312]

Oh nice! Congrats! I guess i was asking because when marriage is legal for example, it is recognized and excepted by the masses. I was thinking that what you are doing should be a universally accepted relationship

[Paige90]

I have no problems with a threesome but I don't think they should be able to be a legal relationship.

[RobT312]

Thats fair. Any reason why they shouldn't?

[jahaims]

Nope, it's obviously only for unhealthy people

[RobT312]

Interesting! Curious to hear what you mean buy unhealthy

That's disgusting and pathetic
